The show's structure was great, and the music and visuals matched perfectly, making it enjoyable. The singers and dancers were also glamorous and very good.
ショーの構成がよく、音楽と映像がピッタリ合っていて楽しかった。シンガーやダンサーも華やかでとてもよかった。
The air conditioning inside the hall was cold, so it's a good idea to bring a jacket or shawl.
ホール内のエアコンが寒かったので、上着かショールを持っていくといい。
Thank you very much for visiting our Rockafella with your friends. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the entire entertainment experience. Next time, please be sure to join us for the buffet meal as well. We look forward to welcoming you back in Hawaii.
この度は私共のロッカフラにお友達と共にお越し頂き誠に誠に有難うございました。エンターテインメント全体的に楽しんで頂き大変嬉しく思っております。次回は是非ともブッフェのお食事と共にお越し下さいませ。又のお越しをハワイでお待ちしております。

I regret not having seen such fun entertainment in Hawaii before! The food is delicious, they come to your seat to sing, and there are dance lessons, so you can enjoy yourself thoroughly before the show even starts. The show is, of course, amazing. I received a scarf that Elvis Presley wiped his sweat with (laughs). It's a secret that Michael Jackson had a little bit of a belly (laughs).
Thank you for the fantastic performances filled with singing and dancing.
This is definitely a show you must see when you come to Waikiki.
ハワイにこんなに楽しいエンターテイメントがあったのか！と今まで見なかった事を後悔しました。
食事も美味しいし、席まで来て歌ってくれるし、踊り方のレッスンもありショーの前にも充分楽しめます。
ショーは、もちろん最高です。
エルビス・プレスリーには、彼の汗を吹いたスカーフを頂きました(笑)
マイケル・ジャクソンのお腹がちょっぴり出ていたのは内緒(笑)
歌に踊りに最高のパフォーマンスをありがとうございました。
ワイキキに来たら絶対みるべきショーです。
I was able to sit in the front row even as a VIP. If you're on the aisle, you might have a better chance of getting a scarf from Elvis Presley.
VIPでも最前列に座れました。
通路側だとエルビス・プレスリーにスカーフもらいやすいかも
Thank you very much for visiting our Rockafura with your spouse. We are honored that we could help create wonderful memories for you. We're glad you received Elvis's scarf! Thank you for your very positive review. We look forward to seeing you again in Hawaii next time.
この度は私共のロッカフラにご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。素敵な思い出作りのお手伝いができた事をスタッフ一同光栄に思っております。エルビスのスカーフもいだたいてよかったですね！大変ポジティブな口コミも有難う御座います。次回もハワイでお待ちしております。

The wind was strong and the waves were high, so unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales. However, the boat hardly rocked, and we enjoyed delicious pineapple banana cake and coffee. The information about the whales was only in English, but they talked a lot, and I was able to learn various things using Google Translate. The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki from the sea was very impressive. If we can't see the whales, we received a ticket to try again for free during the season, so I think I'll give it another shot.
風が強く波が高かったせいか、残念ながらクジラは見れませんでしたが、船はほとんど揺れずにパイナップルバナナケーキとコーヒーを美味しく頂きました。
クジラに関しての情報も英語のみでしたが、沢山話してくださり、Google翻訳を活用して色々と学ぶことができました。
海側からみるダイヤモンドヘッドとワイキキがとても印象的でした。
クジラが見れない時は、シーズン中であれば再度無料でチャレンジできる券も頂けたので、もう一度チャレンジしてみようと思います。
Since the ship is large, I think it's more about enjoying the cruise while seeing the whales from a distance rather than getting close to them.
船が大きいので、クジラに近づくと言うよりは、クルーズを楽しみながら遠目にみる感じだと思います。
Thank you very much for coming aboard the Star of Honolulu with your spouse. Although we were unable to see any whales this time, we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the morning cruise. The views from the ship are quite impressive, aren't they? We hope that next time you will be able to see some whales.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号にご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。今回クジラを見ることができませんでしたが朝のクルーズを楽しんで頂き大変嬉しく思っております。船上からの景色もとても印象的ですよね。次回は是非ともクジラが見れると良いですね。

This was my first time climbing Diamond Head, and I wasn't sure about the procedures for the climb or how to get there, so I decided to book a shuttle plan. I signed up for a pickup at 6:20, but the day before, I received a notification that the time had changed to 7:20. I was able to confirm this change through a phone call and email from the hotel front desk, so I wasn't worried.
On the day of the pickup at 7:20, I arrived early and waited, and the car arrived right on time. The driver was a very pleasant man, and I was able to depart without any anxiety, making the climb enjoyable. There were children and elderly people climbing as well, but it was surprisingly tough. I think it's best to wear proper hiking shoes and clothing. (The night before, there had been rain and strong winds, but it was sunny in the morning. However, there were some muddy spots, so caution is needed during the rainy season.)
After finishing the climb and returning to the car, I was given a cold bottle of water. When I asked the driver, "We would like to stop by a nearby café on the way back, is it better to part ways here?" he immediately seemed to understand and asked for the name of the café, saying, "You can go ahead and drop you off there." Since it was a café near Diamond Head, I was dropped off there instead of at the hotel. I really appreciated the kindness and felt safe participating in this experience. Thank you very much. (On the way back from the café, I enjoyed a pleasant walk back to my hotel in Waikiki.)
ダイヤモンドヘッドに登るのは初めてで、登るための手続きもよくわからないし、現地に行くのにどうするか…と考えるのも面倒だったので送迎プランを申し込みました。6:20お迎えのプランで申し込みましたが、前日になって時間変更の連絡があり、7:20に変更に。その連絡はホテルのフロントからの電話とメールで確認ができたので不安はありませんでした。
当日は7:20お迎えだったので早めに待機しておりましたが、時間ぴったりに車が到着しました。とても感じのいい男性ドライバーさんで、不安なく出発→登山も楽しくできました。子供や年配の方も登っていますが、意外ときついです。きちんと登山しやすい靴・服装でいくといいと思います。（前日の夜に雨と強風が吹いており、当日朝は晴れておりました。ですが、少し足元がぬかるんでいるところがあったので、雨季は注意が必要です。）
登山を終えて車に戻ると、冷たいお水（ペットボトル）を渡してくださいました。そして、「私たちは帰りに近くのカフェに寄りたいので、ここで解散したほうがいいですか？」とドライバーさんに聞くと、すぐにそのカフェのことがわかったようでそのカフェの名前を言って聞いてくださり、「乗って行っていいよ」と言ってくださいました。ダイヤモンドヘッド近くのカフェなので、ホテルではなくカフェ近くで降ろしていただきました。とても親切で、安心して参加させていただけたことに感謝しております。ありがとうございました。（カフェの帰りはお散歩がてらワイキキのホテルまで歩いて帰りましたが気持ちよかったです。）
I saw some reviews mentioning that they didn't receive water, so if it’s not offered to you, I think it’s a good idea to ask. There was a cooler in the back of the car, and they handed it to me from t
口コミで、お水がもらえなかったと書いている方がいらっしゃるので、もし手渡されなかったら聞いてみるといいと思います。車の後ろにクーラーボックスがあり、そこから出して手渡してくださいました。

I chose a plan with a buffet, but I felt like the buffet time was a bit too long, so next time I go, I will skip the buffet. The selection at the buffet was sufficient. You line up and choose your food in order, and at the meat station (which had two types), they cut it for you right in front of you. There were several types of desserts, but I couldn't eat as much as I thought I would.
After the buffet, the time to move to the show venue and wait for it to start was a bit long, and I got a little bored, but once the show began, it was a lot of fun. There were hula dances, fire dances, Elvis Presley, and Michael Jackson performances, and I was never bored throughout. The singers were skilled, and the dancers were great too. The dancers changed costumes and came out multiple times. I was really impressed watching them. This was my first time seeing a show other than the free hula dance show, and I enjoyed it very much.
ビュッフェ付きのプランにしましたが、ビュッフェの時間が長く持て余してしまうような感じだったので、次回行くとしたらビュッフェなしにします。ビュッフェの内容としては十分な感じでした。列に並んで順番に自分で選んで取り、最後にあるお肉のコーナーでは（二種類ありました）目の前で切り分けてくれます。デザートも数種類ありましたが、思っているほど食べられませんでした。
ビュッフェのあと、ショー会場への移動・スタートまでの時間が長く、少し飽きてしまいましたが、ショーが始まるととても楽しかったです。フラダンス、ファイヤーダンス、エルピスプレスリー、マイケルジャクソン、終始全く飽きません。歌を歌う方もお上手で踊りもお上手。ダンサーさんも着替え・着替え、何度も出てきます。すごいなぁと感心して見ておりました。無料で見られるフラダンスショー以外でショーを見たのは初めてで、とても楽しかったです。
As others have mentioned, I think it would be good to have a jacket.
他の方の投稿にもありましたが、上着があるといいと思います。
Thank you very much for visiting our Rockafura with your spouse. We regret that the wait time between the buffet meal and the show was long and may have caused some boredom, but we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the meal and the entire show. Since this was your first experience with such a show, we are confident it has become a wonderful memory of your time in Hawaii. We look forward to welcoming you back to Hawaii next time.
この度は私共のロッカフラにご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。ブッフェのお食事とショーの間の待ち時間が長く少々飽きてしまわれたことが残念でしたが、お食事とショー全体を楽しんで頂き大変嬉しく思っております。この様なショーは今回初めてとゆうことでハワイでの素敵な思い出になったかと確信しております。また次回もハワイでお待ちしております。

You can see stunning views of the sea and mountains. Riding a horse can be challenging until you get used to it, but this breathtaking scenery is something you can't see anywhere else. The horses are smart, and the female staff were kind as well. It's okay if your English isn't perfect.

We participated in a whale watching tour as a family of four. The size of the boat was large, it swayed little, and it was comfortable. The hospitality and the cake were delicious. However, it was a bit disappointing that we didn't see the whales we were hoping for.
But we were able to see Diamond Head and Aloha Tower from the sea, which can only be viewed from the land, and the vast ocean that stretched on endlessly provided breathtaking views that exceeded our expectations. Although we didn't see any whales, the stunning scenery we experienced more than made up for it.
I believe the various people from different countries who joined the tour were also satisfied. Since we participated from Japan, it’s difficult to visit again soon, but I look forward to joining again next time. Thank you very much.
家族4人でホエールウォッチングツアーに参加しました。
船の規模も大きく揺れも少なく快適、おもてなしのケーキも美味しかったです。
ただ期待してた鯨が見れなかったのが少し残念です。
でも陸地からしか見れないダイアモンドヘッド、アロハタワーを海側から見れたり、ずっと続く広大な海海、期待以上の絶景の展開ばかりでした。鯨が見れなかったけれど、見られた絶景が十分カバーされていました。
一緒にツアーに参加していたいろいろな国々の方も満足されたと思います。
日本からの参加なので、すぐにまた訪れることは難しいですが、次に参加した時に楽しみにしたいと思います。

Whales are whimsical.
I think you can expect a stunning view from the ocean side.

We were so disappointed with our Sunset Dinner Cruise this week.
Why oh why, when a company has it just right, do they get greedy and take away the finesse?
Having taken the steak & lobster package last year, we were so looking forward to repeating the experience - but it failed to live up to expectations.
The singer couldn't sing; we had to queue for our starter (only lettuce plated at the table; the lobster was not prepared, we were provided with lobster crackers and a pick (not what we were expecting, dressed in our best clothes); there was no finger bowl or wet wipe; our steaks were cold and the server came so infrequently we did not get to use two of our drinks vouchers.
Shame on you.
Retire the piano player (or ask him NOT to sing)
Bring back the 'prepared' lobster
During the meal, there was a live ukulele performance that took requests, and there were also plenty of activities like hula and hula lessons, making it a truly enjoyable time. The food was even more delicious than I had imagined. On stage, I was able to see hula and Tahitian dance, and the performers who looked so much like Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson brought back nostalgic memories. Despite being sleepy from jet lag, I was treated to an amazing performance. I definitely want to come back and see it again next time. Thank you very much!
食事の時ウクレレ生演奏でリクエストにも応えて頂き、またフラやフラレッスンなど盛りだくさんで本当に楽しいひと時でした。
ご飯も想像以上に美味しかったです。
ステージではフラやタヒチアンダンスも見れたしエルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンがすごーく似てたし曲やダンスも懐かしいし時差ぼけで眠かったにも関わらず最高のパフォーマンスを見せていただきました。
また来た時には絶対見に来たいと思いました。

I think it would be good to have something to wear since the meals are on the rooftop.

Accessing the location was a bit challenging from Waikiki by rental car, but the horseback riding time was very long, and I was satisfied! The scenery was magnificent and beautiful. The horses were very smart, and the staff was kind. At the end, you can feed the horses a little. I gave a tip at that time!
アクセスはワイキキからはレンタカーで少し大変でしたが、乗馬時間はとても長い時間あるし、満足出来ました！とにかく景色が雄大で美しいです。馬たちはとても賢く、スタッフも親切でした。最後に馬に餌を少しあげられます。その時にチップを渡しました！
Attaching a strap to my smartphone and hanging it around my neck gave me peace of mind, allowing me to take photos and videos comfortably.

Two crew members entertained us a lot and took many photos for $40. They transferred the photos to my iPhone right after we disembarked and gave us an SD card. They took about 150 photos, including some scenic views from the ship. When they asked if it was okay to drop into the sea, I said yes, and they played with us a lot. It was the best activity!

You should go dressed in a way that you don't mind getting wet. Buying photos is worth it. The boat can sway quite a bit, so those who are not good with that should be cautious.

We purchased two tickets, after reaching were asked to pay for some mandatory fees for the face mask for 8$ each. So just be aware of that extra cost. Also, I would not recommend purchasing Pictures options for 40$ as it’s waste of money and they don’t take that good images. You will have ample opportunity to take your own pictures , so no need to waste those 49$ for poor quality images.
Be careful about sending pictures to people as you guys share everyone a pictures to each member!
I was very moved by the beautiful view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from above. Additionally, during the photo shoot, there was a unique touch using a shark doll, as shown in the shared photos, which made for a very fun memory. I was also impressed by how they provided attentive service until the end, not only saving the photos directly to my phone when I purchased them but also offering an SD card!
上空からワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドの美しい景色を一望することができ、とても感動しました。
また、写真撮影の際には、共有した写真にもあるようにサメの人形を使ったユニークな演出があり、とても楽しい思い出になりました。
写真を購入すると、その場で携帯電話にデータを保存してくれるだけでなく、SDカードも提供してもらえるなど、最後まで丁寧に対応してもらえた点も印象に残っています！
At the end of the experience, if you wish, you can be dropped into the sea several times. They check in advance to make sure it's okay for you to enter the water, so I was able to participate with pea

The morning was quite challenging. I didn't read the voucher carefully, and the meeting place was not at the hotel where I was staying, but about a 7-minute walk away.
Since I arrived 15 minutes early, I was able to make it to the correct meeting place on time. The driver didn't understand any Japanese, but he was a really nice person.
The activity was amazing. The explanations and registration before it started were a bit difficult, but the view afterward was fantastic. The explanations were in English, so I didn't understand most of it, but just watching the guide's way of speaking and expressions was enjoyable.
When it rains, the dust doesn't rise, but you get quite wet, so I think it's a good idea to buy a poncho on-site.

After setting sail in nice weather, we waited while enjoying pineapple banana cake and coffee as we approached the point.

I experienced this two days after the Honolulu Marathon, but unfortunately, the weather was bad with high waves, and some people got seasick before the boat even left the shore. Since five groups were boarding in order, there was quite a bit of waiting time, and ultimately, many people ended up feeling sick 💦.
I managed to be okay because I skipped breakfast and took motion sickness medication. Watching the first group go up helped me understand what to expect, so it wasn't too scary, and while going up, there was no swaying, which felt nice!
However, before descending, you are dropped close to the water's surface, so your clothes might get wet.
ホノルルマラソンの2日後に体験しましたが、あいにくの天気で波が高く、ボートが沖に出るまでに船酔いする方もいました。5組が順に上がるので待ち時間も結構あり、最終的に船酔い者続出となりました💦

There was also a small child, around elementary school age, who participated and had a great time.

This was our second family trip to Hawaii, and while we were debating what activities to do, we found this one. After checking with the kids, they seemed excited, so we decided to sign up. Unfortunately, it was cloudy on the day of our activity, but we had a great time nonetheless. My eldest son, who is not fond of heights, said it was a bit scary, but my daughter and younger son, who is in elementary school, loved it and wanted to do it again.
I thought I would feel more scared when going up, but I ascended smoothly and didn't feel scared at all. It was a great opportunity to see Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the ocean direction, something I had never experienced before.
We were also lucky enough to see whales from the boat. My eldest son was right above them, so he got to see the whales from the sky.

I came to the Rock-a-Hula show as a first-timer to Hawaii to catch a show with my family. It offers a lively, pre-packaged, easy-to-digest introduction to hula, Hawaiian culture, and local history—mixed with plenty of iconic pop-culture moments that Hawaii has embraced and celebrated over time. The experience is broken into a few different ticket options, and what you pay really affects what you get. Here’s what to know before you go:
1. Ticket options & pricing
You can choose between show-only tickets or a luau buffet paired with the show. Pricing varies quite a bit. I was able to snag a 2-for-1 show-only deal, which came out to about $43 per person, and I also saw a single-ticket promo for around $60. The luau + show packages run $100+ depending on whether you upgrade to VIP. The buffet is definitely better suited for non-vegetarians, but there are some meat-free options.
2. The venue & overall vibe
This is a non-traditional show set in a large, comfortable amphitheater on the top floor of a shopping plaza. The show opens with a short historical video about the land and people of Hawaii set in 1920, which sets the timeline for the rest of the performance. From start to finish, the show runs about 1 hour and 10 minutes—just the right length in my opinion.
3. Show highlights
The pacing starts off a bit slow with traditional hula dancers and singers, then really picks up steam once the show moves into the 1950s. The Elvis segment is the longest and most prominent, and honestly, the performer is impressively spot-on in both voice and movement, covering several of Elvis’s biggest hits.
From there, the show transitions into tributes to the Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson, his dance moves really get the audience excited with high-energy dance numbers. You’ll also see nods to familiar cultural touchstones like Israel Kamakawiwoʻole’s “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” Moana, and finally, a dramatic flaming poi performance honoring the fire goddess.
Great for families with elderly or young kids
I came to the Rock-a-Hula show as a first-timer to Hawaii to catch a show with my family. It offers a lively, pre-packaged, easy-to-digest introduction to hula, Hawaiian culture, and local history—mixed with plenty of iconic pop-culture moments that Hawaii has embraced and celebrated over time. The experience is broken into a few different ticket options, and what you pay really affects what you get. Here’s what to know before you go:

Skip the dinner portion--I’d recommend this show for families, groups with elderly relatives.
The driver arrived at the pickup location on time and was very kind to us, even though we are Japanese! If you're planning to climb Diamond Head, I definitely recommend going early in the morning. We were able to see a beautiful sunrise! ♪
運転手さんは時間通りに送迎場所に来てくださり、日本人の私たちにも優しく接してくださいました！
ダイヤモンドヘッドに登るなら絶対早朝をおすすめします。
とても綺麗なサンライズを見ることができました♪
The souvenir shop at the exit is disappointing, so it's better to stay in the mountains until just before the pickup time. You'll have too much time on your hands.
出口のお土産屋さんがショボいので、帰りの迎えの時間ギリギリまで山にいたほうがいいです。時間を持て余します。
